30: C30 Wilted Wood Peak

C30 Wilted Wood Peak

Afterglow Peak. In the courtyard where the nominal disciples lived. After hearing Zeng Yishu's words, Faang Datong and Yang Fann looked distressed. They really wanted to use their future break to take a leave of absence. After all, although this kind of injury wasn't fatal to them, the pain was unbearable. In such a situation, they still had to go to work. They secretly cursed Zeng Yishu in their hearts. And Qi Zhuohao!

At this moment, Faang Datong and Yang Fann finally experienced Qi Zhuohao's pain in the past two months. The cycle of karma, the retribution, and the dissatisfaction!

Zeng Yishu, Faang Datong, and the others went to work. The courtyard was very quiet. After Qi Zhuohao continued to practice for two hours, he got up and walked out of the house. He had always wanted to go to Wilted Wood Peak to take a look. Today was his day off, and he finally had time.

Every nominal disciple of Thousand Searching Sect could go to other peaks. The prerequisite was that they couldn't enter the areas above the Outer Sect. Qi Zhuohao only wanted to go to the foot of the Wilted Wood Peak to have a look. It was not against the rules of the Thousand Searching Sect!

Qi Zhuohao had been thinking about the strangeness of the Wilted Wood Peak. During this period of time, he had learned a lot about the Wilted Wood Peak from Zeng Yishu. Zeng Yishu's words had made Qi Zhuohao even more curious about the Wilted Wood Peak!

The Wilted Wood Peak was a vibrant green mountain a few hundred years ago. It was no different from the surrounding mountains. It was called Chao Yang Peak. A few hundred years ago, the Wilted Wood Peak had become like this overnight. Its name had also been changed to the Wilted Wood Peak.

A few hundred years ago, the higher ups of the Thousand Searching Sect had been investigating it for several years. However, they had gained nothing. All they knew was that there seemed to be a treasure in Wilted Wood Peak. It was that treasure that caused the entire Wilted Wood Peak to be in ruins and desolation!

The higher ups of the Thousand Searching Sect had tried to use a formation to find and lure out that treasure, but to no avail. Time was ruthless. The matters of the Wilted Wood Peak were gradually forgotten by the higher ups of the Thousand Searching Sect. Only the generations of Peak Lord of the Wilted Wood Peak were still brooding over this matter.

"Junior Brother Qi, don't you need to work today?"

Qi Zhuohao was walking on the mountain road when suddenly, a pleasant voice was heard. Qi Zhuohao quickly turned his head to look. It had been a month since he last saw Nan Yudia. He heard that she was in secluded cultivation, trying to break through to the Essence Condensation Stage.

"Senior Sister Nan, I will take my leave today. I don't need to work! Qi Zhuohao changed the topic and said, "___, I will take my leave today." Senior Sister Nan, you have broken through to the Essence Condensation Stage and become an inner circle disciple of the Afterglow Peak."

Qi Zhuohao's tone sounded a little desolate. He was still working hard to become a disciple of the Outer Sect, but Nan Yudia had become an inner circle disciple of the Afterglow Peak. Comparisons were really infuriating. What he said was right. Unfair!

Nan Yudia glared at Qi Zhuohao and said, "Will Junior Brother Qi be jealous of me? This is not like your personality!"

"Jealousy can't be said to be jealousy. Jealousy is true. Senior Sister Nan, where are you going? "Qi Zhuohao waved his hand and said.

Nan Yudia pretended to be angry when she heard him. "Junior Brother Qi, I am here to talk to you. Why? Do you not want to see me in your heart? If you hate to see me, then I will leave now! "

After saying that, Nan Yudia turned around and left. Seeing this, Qi Zhuohao hurriedly ran over and grabbed Nan Yudia's hand. He smiled apologetically, "Senior Sister Nan, why would I hate to see you? These few days I have been diligently cultivating, so I have no time to bother with you. I'm sorry! "

A smile flashed across Nan Yudia's face, and her little heart beat wildly. Although she and Qi Zhuohao were both in the Afterglow Peak, it was very difficult for them to meet. She was worried about Qi Zhuohao and missed him, but she didn't dare to express it.

Nan Yudia's appearance made him feel very inferior in his heart. She was afraid that Qi Zhuohao would reject her, and she didn't want Qi Zhuohao to be discriminated against because of her appearance. She could only suppress this matter in her heart. This was actually quite good!

"Junior Brother Qi, could it be that you haven't cultivated during this period of time? Why is your cultivation realm still at the Meridian Accumulation First Level?" Nan Yudia changed the topic and asked. She knew that. Qi Zhuohao's cultivation speed could be said to be heaven defying, and he could conserve his energy. Two months, no matter how little time Qi Zhuohao spent on cultivation, Qi Zhuohao should be able to advance to the second layer of Meridian Accumulation!

Nan Yudia still remembered that when she and Qi Zhuohao left Drunken Star Tavern, Qi Zhuohao said that he was trying to break through to the second layer of Meridian Vessel Accumulation.

"Senior Sister Nan, you don't understand this!" Qi Zhuohao smiled slightly, and the aura of his realm was revealed in an instant.

Seeing this, Nan Yudia was stunned for a moment, and then she was overjoyed. How could Qi Zhuohao be a Meridian Accumulation First Level? He was at the fourth level of Meridian Accumulation. She knew it. With Qi Zhuohao's cultivation speed, how could he still be at the Meridian Accumulation First Level after two months?

"Eh? Junior Brother Qi, how did you hide your realm? Even I couldn't tell?" Nan Yudia asked in surprise. Qi Zhuohao could actually hide his realm, and only showed the Meridian Accumulation First Level realm. What was going on?

Hearing this, Qi Zhuohao had a helpless look on his face. He replied, "Senior Sister Nan, I don't know why either. Ever since I advanced to the second layer of Meridian Vessel, if I don't reveal my realm aura... My realm aura has always been at the Meridian Accumulation First Level. I'm also very puzzled! "

"Could it be because of your physique?" Nan Yudia said in surprise. She was also a heteromorphic martial artist. However, her constitution could not be compared to Qi Zhuohao's. After all, the legendary Nine Extremes Mixed Essence Body only appeared. It was incomparably mysterious and strange!

Qi Zhuohao nodded and said, "Perhaps! Alright, this matter isn't important. We don't need to be conflicted. Senior Sister Nan, I want to go to the Wilted Wood Peak to take a look. Does Senior Sister Nan have time to accompany me for a walk? "

Originally, Nan Yudia only had two hours to rest, so she had to return to the inner sect area to cultivate. But when she heard Qi Zhuohao's invitation, she immediately nodded her head and agreed. She thought to herself, Going for a walk with him, what does being punished count as?"

Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia slowly walked down the mountain. The atmosphere was a little quiet, just like when they were shopping in the county. Qi Zhuohao's heart moved and he quickly broke the awkward atmosphere.

"Senior Sister Nan, I think you must know about the strange things in Wilted Wood Peak. Do you think there is really a treasure in Wilted Wood Peak?"

Nan Yudia shook her head lightly after hearing this, and replied, "I don't know either, but I think that since all the higher ups of the Thousand Searching Sect believed that there was a treasure hidden in the Wilted Wood Peak, however, the higher ups of the Thousand Searching Sect couldn't obtain that treasure even with the formation. So, Junior Brother Qi, don't think too much about it. "

Nan Yudia could tell that Qi Zhuohao was aiming for the treasure of the Wilted Wood Peak. That wouldn't do, because with that treasure... The Wilted Wood Peak had become dilapidated and desolate. There was even a wondrous rock that was born on the summit of the mountain. It was said that those warriors with high comprehension had a certain chance of comprehending a very powerful force by comprehending the wondrous rock. It was called the Desolate Force!2

The Desolate Force was a very mystical force. It could corrode the opponent's life force. It was very terrifying. It was said that there was once a senior in the Wilted Wood Peak who had mastered the Desolate Force. No one could defeat it, but in the end, it was devoured by the Desolate Force. It was a miserable ending!

Although the Desolate Force was powerful, it was difficult to control it. It was extremely dangerous. Comprehending the Desolate Force was not a good thing. The Desolate Force was definitely inseparable from the treasure in the Wilted Wood Peak. Nan Yudia naturally did not want Qi Zhuohao to take the risk.

"Senior Sister Nan, you think too much. I was just curious and wanted to go and take a look. That kind of treasure requires luck to obtain it!"

Qi Zhuohao explained. In his heart, he understood that all treasures had a certain degree of spirituality. Only the fated person would not be able to obtain it, just like his Fire Crystal Coffin. Why could he see when others could not? That was because he was fated with the Fire Crystal Coffin!

"I'm just reminding you. That treasure is definitely an inauspicious item. You have to stay away from it!"

Nan Yudia said. None of the disciples of the Wilted Wood Peak wanted to comprehend the Desolate Force. However, the Peak Lord of Wilted Wood Peak, Zhu Tianrong, forced them to comprehend the Desolate Force. In fact, the disciples of the Wilted Wood Peak were not tortured to death because of Zhu Tianrong's strict rules. They were killed by the Desolate Force. From this, it could be seen that the treasure was definitely not something good!

This was also the reason why the disciples of the Thousand Searching Sect's Nine Peaks were qualified to comprehend the Desolate Force. However, none of the disciples from the other Eight Peaks were willing to go to the Wilted Wood Peak. They knew that the Desolate Force was harmful to them, so why would they seek their own death?

Of course, the Desolate Force was not that easy to comprehend. In the past hundreds of years, only the almighty expert of the Wilted Wood Peak had comprehended the Desolate Force!

"I understand, thank you for Senior Sister Nan's reminder!" Qi Zhuohao nodded and replied. To be honest, he was very curious about the Desolate Force. However, he was well aware of how powerful and evil the Desolate Force was. What Nan Yudia said made sense.

After chatting for a while, Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia finally arrived at the foot of the mountain of Wilted Wood Peak. Qi Zhuohao and Nan Yudia were shocked when they sensed the desolate Qi of Wilted Wood Peak. That Qi seemed to be able to corrode their vitality!

"Senior Sister Nan, let's go into the mountain and take a look!" Qi Zhuohao said and walked into the Wilted Wood Peak first. He did not know why. After coming to the Wilted Wood Peak, the Fire Crystal Coffin in his arm trembled slightly. It was as if it was attracted by something!

After entering the Wilted Wood Peak, the trembling of the Fire Crystal Coffin became even more intense. Qi Zhuohao tried to walk in different directions, and he was surprised to find that the further north she went, the stronger the trembling of the Fire Crystal Coffin became.

"Could it be that the Fire Crystal Coffin can sense the location of the strange treasure in the Wilted Wood Peak?"

Qi Zhuohao thought in his heart, although he was afraid of that treasure. But with the Fire Crystal Coffin in his hand, perhaps that treasure wouldn't be a threat to him! Qi Zhuohao was well aware of how heaven defying the Fire Crystal Coffin was. No matter how powerful and evil that treasure was, it was still a heaven defying treasure. Therefore, Qi Zhuohao was extremely curious about that treasure. If he could obtain it, it would be good!

Qi Zhuohao was not an arrogant person. He was also worried that the treasure would devour his body. To be safe, he had decided that if he could find that treasure... He would use the Fire Crystal Coffin to suppress it at the first possible moment. Once he had a thorough understanding of the treasure and confirmed if it was harmful to him... He would then decide whether to keep it or throw it away.

Qi Zhuohao had already discovered a situation. The Fire Crystal Coffin could store items. Furthermore, the Fire Crystal Coffin seemed to have the terrifying ability to bury everything. It should be a piece of cake to suppress a treasure!

As he was thinking, Qi Zhuohao slowly walked towards the north of Wilted Wood Peak. The facts proved that his guess was correct. He could feel the Fire Crystal Coffin in his left arm becoming more and more restless. He knew that he was getting closer and closer to the treasure.

Qi Zhuohao's situation was very strange. Nan Yudia had a puzzled look on her face. She pulled Qi Zhuohao and asked, "Junior Brother Qi, are you looking for that treasure? Didn't I tell you? That is an inauspicious item. No, let's go back!"

Nan Yudia pulled Qi Zhuohao and left. Qi Zhuohao said he was here for a walk with her. In fact, it was not the case. Qi Zhuohao was searching for the treasure in the Wilted Wood Peak. She was not blind. She could clearly see Qi Zhuohao's every move. He really didn't want Qi Zhuohao to have any contact with the Desolate Force and the treasure. It was too dangerous...
